Impressive work with the 12-24 GM, Bob.
Joshua, that close-up of the hummer is impressive even by your extremely high standards. Feather detail, sharpness, lighting and colors all perfect.
Rene: About your monochrome shots, what Michael said, exactly .
Sorry, I'm kinda late still posting those foliage shots. GM 135 1.8 at f4.5, when I still had it. The Tammy 70-180 is not as optically impressive as the GM prime, but certainly more versatile.

Along Carpet Road, New Tripoli, PA.
We finally got some actual sunshine, following a break in the pounding rain we've had for the last week or so.
I'm getting a better feel now for this CV 15E with some better light to model the outdoor subjects, and LR settings to bring out better details. The lens has quite a lot of light fall-off (vignetting) to deal with to reduce dark perimeter and hot center, but well within the LR corrections.

A 2-shot rear-shift stitch (-15mm/+15mm) with Sony A7RM2 and SMC Pentax-A 645 35mm f3.5. The lens works reasonably well at 66 x 24mm (approx. 19mm horizontal field of view in full frame terms).

Thank you very much, Chris! It has been visiting my backyard for 4 days in a row. And there was plenty of opportunity for me to fine tune the results .
Fall is colorful time of the year and you captured the essence of fall colors really well, Chris!

Here is another image of a different hummingbird captured at a wildlife sanctuary early in the morning. I was there to capture something else that didn’t really materialize. So this is a consolation prize so to speak.
